Maybe you should remove opendoas from provides? That should fix this:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace doas with cachyos-extra-v3/opendoas? [Y/n] n
:: Replace doas with extra/opendoas? [Y/n] n

Please install opendoas from the main repositories instead!

Not going to file a request but this package really should be deleted. This unofficial port of doas has an awful track record with security, at one point allowing any user to become root without a password. Even if it's not a duplicate of opendoas, it shouldn't be used.

This should not be deleted as the two packages have completely different upstream sources.

scrouthtv commented on 2021-01-31 09:25 (UTC)

They're different packages from different maintainers that basically do the same. This package can be configured via a configuration file & ships with PAM configuration, I don't know about opendoas

laichiaheng commented on 2021-01-30 16:30 (UTC)

What is the difference between opendoas and doas?

scrouthtv commented on 2020-12-07 09:16 (UTC)

Fixed it @kjpg, sorry for the inconvenience

00-Makefile.patch for some reason specifies the SYSCONFDIR as /usr/etc don't know what's that about

KingofToasters commented on 2020-08-14 03:25 (UTC)

Upstream has no idea how to write a proper makefile, and any patches for it are shot down. Disowning.
